A Southern California rapist was apprehended at the hospital ER where he went for treatment after one of his potential victims bit the tongue right out of his mouth.

Ronald Douglas McGowan is now facing a preliminary hearing for 12 felony counts against four women, including rape, forcible rape, assault with a deadly weapon, and assault causing serious bodily harm. Taking that bite out of crime has probably saved several more women trauma at the hands of this man.

He has undergone some serious bodily harm of his own, since doctors were unable to reattach his tongue. Memo to the anonymous victim: nice job.
